Prior to this feature, NFD consisted of only software components namely
nfd-master and nfd-worker. We have introduced another software component
called nfd-topology-updater.
NFD-Topology-Updater is a daemon responsible for examining allocated resources
on a worker node to account for allocatable resources on a per-zone basis (where
a zone can be a NUMA node). It then communicates the information to nfd-master
which does the CRD creation corresponding to all the nodes in the cluster. One
instance of nfd-topology-updater is supposed to be running on each node of the
cluster.

Make table of contents in the pages cleaner and more readable by
dropping the main heading (H1 level) from TOCs. This was the original
intention with the usage of "no_toc" kramdown magic, which was broken,
however. The kramdown class magic needs to be specified on the line
immediately following the headinds, otherwise it has no effect. We need
to disable MD022 rule of mdlint as it does not understand this magic.
Add a separate label namespace for profile labels, intended for
user-specified higher level "meta features". Also sub-namespaces of this
(i.e. <sub-ns>.profile.node.kubernetes.io) are allowed.
Allow <sub-ns>.feature.node.kubernetes.io label namespaces. Makes it
possible to have e.g. vendor specific label ns without the need to user
-extra-label-ns.
The naming was changed in when with cpuid v2
(github.com/klauspost/cpuid/v2) and we didn't catch this in NFD. No
issue reports of the inadvertent naming change so let's just adapt to
the updated naming in NFD configuration. The SSE4* labels are disabled
by default so they're not widely used, if at all.
In my homelab, I have different FTDI serial converters connected to
several utility meters. They all have identical vendor/device, but
different serials.
In order to detect a specific FTDI unit (eg. the one connected to my
electricity meter), I'd like feature labels triggered by a specific USB
serial.

cert-manager can be used to automate TLS certificate management for
nfd-master and the nfd-worker pod(s).
Add a template to deploy cert-manager CA Issuer and Certificates and
document steps how to use them.

Take the default value displayed for the image.repository Helm chart
parameter dynamically from the Jekyll configuration. This way, we
get the correct value for releases/release branches.
This adds additional cpu features:
- pstate status from status of intel_pstate driver
- pstate scaling settings from scaling_governor
- cstate enable from max_cstates in intel_idle driver
After moving to the flags package for command line argument parsing NFD
accepts command line arguments (flags) starting with a single dash (e.g.
-no-publish in addition to --no-publish). Even if double-dash can be
used the single-dash version is printed e.g. in the usage string (from
-h, -help) so align documentation with that.
There are cases when the only available metadata for discovering
features is the node's name. The "nodename" rule extends the custom
source and matches when the node's name matches one of the given
nodename regexp patterns.
It is also possible now to set an optional "value" on custom rules,
which overrides the default "true" label value in case the rule matches.
In order to allow more dynamic configurations without having to modify
the complete worker configuration, custom rules are additionally read
from a "custom.d" directory now. Typically that directory will be filled
by mounting one or more ConfigMaps.

This can be used to help running multiple parallel NFD deployments in
the same cluster. The flag changes the node annotation namespace to
<instance>.nfd.node.kubernetes.io allowing different nfd-master intances
to store metadata in separate annotations.
